They say not to count your chickens before they hatch. ‘Cause by doing so, you raise the chances for an instant loss of karma, dignity, and self-confidence, like, triple.
If you've ever been near the finish line raising your arms high in the sky, only to feel a cold wave of wind passing through while you enjoy the moment of not-earned victory, you need no further explanation. And if you are one of the lucky ones who hasn’t had their fair share of premature celebration-turned nightmare, please stay that way and keep on scrolling to see what not to do to become one of many.
Thanks to the subreddit r/Prematurecelebration, we now have the full-on archive of cringey glory that is a product of people celebrating just a microscopic little bit too early. So you'd better get ready to crack up big time.

Random Selection
To find out more about the community behind the r/Prematurecelebration subreddit, Bored Panda reached out to one of its moderators, u/N8theGr8, who was happy to share some insights.
The mod told us that the subreddit was created by u/potato88, who’s now a suspended user, back in 2013. Some time ago, though, the subreddit had no moderators, so the admins gave it to the current mod team, u/N8theGr8 said.
But since the subreddit revolves around a “kind of niche topic,” it’s not as active as it could be. “But we have half a million subscribers and it stays relatively active,” they added. Right now, the subreddit has 525k members in total and their community is still growing.

Good Idea To Straight Up Tell Everyone That You're Scamming A Company
When asked about the whole concept of premature celebration that the subreddit as all about, the moderator explained that it “just means celebrating some kind of win or victory before you really should.”
“Like a guy who runs a race and then slows down right at the end to do a victory jump and throw his arms in the air, only to be passed by the 2nd-place guy who then wins the race. Or 'Dewey Defeats Truman' newspaper held up by President Truman.”

New York Times Article From 1924
So, the lesson from this is, when Trump walks away a free man after his impeachment trial (let's face it, we all know this is going to happen), don't imagine that you've seen the end of him and his ilk, and don't fool yourself that things couldn't get worse.
If 199 republicans showed their support for a republican conspiracy theorist who denied school shootings and harassed victims of school shootings, who said that 9/11 never happened and who was all in favor of executing democrat politicians, it's quite clear that the gop will be backing the guy who ruined the nation and tried to start a civil war.

Among all the things that didn't age well this is in a league of its own.
Just people assume Trump will quietly retire to private life in Florida... SMH
While this is true, there's way more to the story. There were many outside forces pushing Europe towards World War 2. If Hitler hadn't "stepped in" someone else would have. He wasn't the sole member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party. There were others who had similar ideas of wanting the Jews out of Germany. Anti-Semitism was rampant all over Europe, not just Germany. There were other issues as well such as economics and identity. So just one thing was not the sole push towards World War 2.
Yeah, the Treaty of Versailles was another major factor.

History will teach you how to spot a fascist so you can save countless lives on time :O
if only... One of the reason's trumps sentence should be for life or exile.
By the way: You can say a lot about Hitler, but at least he shot the "Führer".
"his political organization, known as the Völkischer" ??? Hitler's party was the NSDAP (national socialist german workers party), and they had a newspaper called "Völkischer Beobachter" (National Observer). No wonder that someone who knew so little about Hitler, could come to the conclusion that Hitler would retire.
And Donald trump learned his lesson after his first acquittal, right?
Sounds like "Trump's tone has shifted...is this when he becomes presidential...taken out of context...etc."
Good thing we never had to worry about him anymore, gagh. I wonder if he got revenge on the people who put him there.
"His behavior during imprisonment convinced authorities that, ... [he] was no longer to be feared." Big ouch. Nine years before he was elected.
EVERY Parole and Probation Board member should be made to re-read this article frequently. Especially on those days when EVIL is scheduled to appear before them to request release.
You're really completely clueless, aren't you miss?!?!

Celebrating Too Early
Yeah, our Prime Minister said that we are "Best in covid" back in summer, and now we are "Best in covid" but from the other side :(
Does This Count?
Very bad man. He was hanged for murdering three tourists (believed to have killed six in total) he was also a drug trafficker and thief. Googled him so you don’t have to.

Self Explanatory
Well, at least they can now rememeber the original date they were supposed to marry.
Note: this post originally had 60 images. It’s been shortened to the top 30 images based on user votes.
The redditor u/N8theGr8 continued: “When you're so close to the end that victory looks assured is when a lot of people let their guard down, and don't have the situational awareness to realize that someone else is trying to win too. It's fine to celebrate early, but make sure you're in a safe position to do so.”
I really wish there had been some explanation on the sports ones. Not all of us are in the USA and following US sports competitions.
I just saw rollerblading and Toronto Blue Jays. I don’t know where rollerblading is popular, but I would be surprised to learn that Toronto is in the USA🤷

Sooo many people breaking the law and telling the world how "smart" they are. Sigh......
Something cringeworthy makes you cringe. "Cringey" is not a word. Honestly.
QAnon should be added to this. The weeping "what just happened?" looks on the faces of these slobbering idiots the moment Biden got sworn in was priceless.
I'm not into sports at all but I got the sports ones and still find them funny. Most of these are self explanatory, for example its obvious "the fourth" meant the game was still going. I don't need to follow American football to figure that out. As for the gaming ones, lots of people provided context to them. Just because you don't like sports and games doesn't mean the compilation was bad.
